brainstorm session

I am also assisting for projections on a museum installation called "Rain After Ash".  It is about Craig Arnold, a poet who disappeared after traveling solo to look at a volcano in Japan.

Right now we are working on content and I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the following:

What would you remember if you were dead? Continue

Theme: Graphic Excess & Insecure Messages
yeah... i did it to emphasize the perspective...these are like sections,

• everything good should work like a sectional perspective yah?
• if it doesn't it sucks, i don't know if i should do the others as triangles or just figure them out intuitively.
  • • did you get my email?
  • • • omg I posted to the blog, the end times
    • 49 minutes ago AGREED

      • graphic is just what i hate, the over emphasis of positive-negative, figure-ground, subject-object
      • over stylized fonts, and forced hierarchies
      • insecure messages, desperate for attention
      • you can see the insecurity of the designer, "if i don't put enough, you won't look"
      • "should i right-align?"
        
        
        coat a city in that and you have the contemporary condition

Schoolin' Life

As Temples said, "I nearly cracked my neck the first time I heard this song."

...

I'm not a teacher, babe

But I can teach you something

Not a preacher

But we can pray if you wanna

Ain't a doctor

But I can make you feel better

But I'm great at writing physical letters

I'm a freak, all day, all night

Hot, tap, sway

Boy your out of sight

And I'm crazy, all day, all night

Who needs a degree when you're schoolin' life

I cannot show you my Europan Boards until December...

i know...


it's beautiful.

Yasmin Le Bon covers Linea, May 1985

This must be the visual alter I pray on before starting any graphic image. Well, this cover, plus the added desire to percolate the feeling it may have been constructed by a psychopathic-housebound grandmother.

Current(ly) rocking Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, eating Steak&Espresso, reading Buckminster Fuller's Intuition, wearing NoShirt because it's 93 degrees in this piece. Ciao.

Flower Pillow

I was in Clemson for the weekend...spent some time at the lake and happened to see what all was going on downtown with the Clemson Arts Festival. I found these little clay "flower pillows" and had to buy one. Its like a hollow clay pillow that can hold water and has several holes to hold flower, stems, etc. Continue

counting the uncounted, y'all

one week till final review, and it's time to figure out how we got where we got, and where we need to go. the project explores the potentials of mapping an unampped demographic [the homeless] through the lens of GIS. in an attempt to pin down the patterns of a migratory population, we find the census's current procedures for counting transient populations produce numerous discrepancies/inaccuracies. this reveals gis's tendency to concretize the temporal. by working with TINS [relational data sets] and re-inputting new time sensitive data collected about the ameneties relevant to a certain population, GIS can be used to identify LATENT COMMUNITIES.

the drawing shows latent HOTSPOTS, or areas of the city particularly rich with amenities of use to the homeless. the green tin is derived from the amount of time soup kitchens open through the year relative to proximity of vacant parcels in the city. the chartreuse is based on bus route proximity to public parks.

the next step is to clarify what all this means for the way we think about the city in general, as well as what types of urban proposals we might suggest based on our findings.
